Randomitsuki Posted November 2, 2006 Posted November 2, 2006 Hi there, this is to invite you to participate in Banzuke Surfing in the upcoming basho. The rules are very simple. Banzuke Surfing is run in several waves, with a new wave starting every year. The goal is to move up the banzuke as far and fast as possible. You do so by temporarily "adopting" one or more rikishi at a given banzuke position. If your rikishi moves up the banzuke, so will you, if the rikishi moves down by getting MK, so will you (at least, if all your picked rikishi move down). In the basho after the current one you will be taking the banzuke position of the best-placed rikishi you've picked this time. If your name appears on the list below, you have already participated. The column "Allowed Picks" shows you which rikishi of the banzuke you are allowed to pick next basho. If you are participating for the first time, you are allowed to pick any of the rikishi in the bottom 32 of the banzuke (as indicated below). The rikishi that you are allowed to pick are all rikishi below your last (or most successful) pick. So generally, you cannot pick the same rikishi twice. An exception is if your rikishi drops into the last 32 of the banzuke or goes banzuke-gai. In this case, of course, you can pick any of the bottom 32 rikishi (just like a new player). During your entire career of a given wave you can use up to three so-called jokers (indicated by the number of asterisks behind your name). Jokers are additional rikishi you can pick. In addition to the regular rikishi you pick for a basho, you can use as many jokers as you've still left. E.g., at the beginning of a wave you could pick four rikishi instead of one (regular + all jokers). As a consequence, the most successful one of these four will determine your new banzuke position. But on the downside this would mean that you don't have any jokers left for later bashos. So pick jokers wisely, three isn't much for a wave that might run for much more than a year. Deadline is shonichi 8 AM JST. All new players are allowed to pick jk21w Isanishiki and below. And here are the results after Aki Basho: Rank Shikona Last Surfer Position Allowed Picks 1.

Profomisakari Posted November 3, 2006 Posted November 3, 2006 I'll try it with two fellows: 1. My georgian friend Ms55w Gagamaru 2. and as my Joker Ms48e Yamasaki Let one of them have a 7 : 0 result! Profomisakari
Shibouyama Posted November 3, 2006 Posted November 3, 2006 I was just about to post the same thing. Ms55w Gagamaru Joker:Ms48e Yamasaki
kaiguma Posted November 5, 2006 Posted November 5, 2006 Okay, I might be taking a big leap of faith here . . . Jd94w Kadowaki Iwate Tamanoi [Above pasted directly from Doitsuyma's full banzuke thread. Madorosumaru always writes "Kadowake." My kanji is not good enough to determine which is correct. I assume the rank is good enough in the case of a mispelled name?] -Kaiguma TAMANOI!!!! (Shaking head...)

Torideyama Posted November 8, 2006 Posted November 8, 2006 MS12W ASAHIMARU This is the first time in a few basho (since I got my 1st and 2nd waves together) that I have split my picks between the two. Just to be different.
